Herms happen. Ive seen 6 at varying degrees of severity in the last 2 years. 2 were killed outright at the end of veg. It happens.
6 out of 7 is bullshit though. I’d be pissed.
Yes there are different circumstances for each dog, this dachsund was a four year old male and still intact…who does thst? Backyard breeders is who.
People have move, got to nursing himes, get divorced and some people should have never gotten a dog to begin with
If you havent noticed by now…people are idiots.

Bullshit, what is?
Question for anyone anyone reading who can to chime in. When making seeds when you decide this , can you give a percentage to how much bud you get? I mean if you don’t seed that is 100% if you seed you still get some bud right? I have had grams in the day that were just stems and fans by the time I plucked the seeds out but that is just certain buds I assume? Percent wise how much bud is left?
Genetics makes a plant herm. That’s it. If it has those hermie traits like S1’s and you stress it out enough it will turn into a hermie OR it just does it on it’s own because it’s in it’s genetics
Wow, well this topic went all over the place since I last checked it lol.
Somewhat on topic, what would be some guidelines for reproducing a cross that breeders/chuckers put out. Assuming they are accurate with what elite cuts they used to make the cross, it’s fairly easy to reproduce.

It depends…there are many methods for making seeds and how heavily you pollinate and at what time…you also want to keep some nitrogen in your nutrient regimen during flower to help with seed production.

That’s awesome lol. There’s so many copy cats out there doing the same crosses as others. At least pug thug finds a unique parent of a high end strain (like their Mendo breath f2 parent vs the f1 or f3 clone).

Was thinking about this while fishing, and getting torn apart by mosquitos. This was a real world attempt at breeding a self-destruct sequence into a gene pool.
I forget where, but somewhere on earth this same exact plan is being attempted again. Lmfao.

Sure, but there’s no GMO or voodoo science involved…when both parents carry a recessive gene they carry one allele from both parents, finding the calling card and selecting the genotype (aa) from both parental stock and thereby breeding those two together stacks the deck in favor for it to become a dominant trait in subsequent generations…

Huh? You lost me
We’re talking about breeding in a recursive trait into F1s or f2s that renders the offspring of future generations pretty much useless. It’s about breeding in a recessive trait into your genetic to render the future generations of inbreeding useless…a way for breeders to protect their genetics from copycats…
I know, did you not read the article? They were doing exactly that with mosquitoes. Releasing males with the self-destruct gene to impregnate the females and wipe out the population.
Surely some of the babies didn’t make it to breeding age? It couldn’t have been a complete failure?
But what matters is in the end, it produced new hybrid mosquitoes with all the extra vigor that comes with F1 hybrids.
Saying something, or theorizing it on paper, is very different than actually doing it in real life.

I skimmed through the article…sure F1 hybrid comes with vigor…but this is inbreeding…f1 or f2…say I bought a f1 seed pack and I wanted to inbreed the strain to get many more f2 or f3 seeds of same strain…there wouldn’t be f1 vigor at that point…this is how breeders protect their genetics from copycats…by careful breeding and selection of a recessive crap trait that renders subsequent generations pretty much useless, no longer will have a homozygous uniform rendition of the f1.
Who is doing this?
Many breeders are just some guy who found a male.
They lack the technology and the steady hands.
Peace.

Haha…you mean pollen chuckers?? A reputable breeder understands genes and genotypes, they also won’t have a list of genetics a mile long unless they have many decades of work in the industry…The new guys that have 20-30 strains are pollen chuckers, it takes years and many many generations to develop and work a true breeding strain…often times inbred to the verge of depression and then backcrossed a few times…
Please name these breeders that deliberately include recessive crap genes as you say so I can avoid their products forever.
